I just got out of high school for summer break and I don’t want to waste my summer. The thing is when I’m in school I’m forced to study and do homework so I am productive, but now that it is the summer, I will play video games (such as Fortnite… Lol) all day every day with myself and friends. I want to spend my summer doing some studying to prepare for the next year and to retain information and maybe learn some other new things. The problem is now that I’m not in school, so I’m not forced by anything to stop gaming to study, if I try to study I end up going for like 30 minutes and then the rest of the day is devoted to video games, I hate procrastination yet I am losing the battle against it. Also, if I’m not on my PC playing games, I’m either on my phone watching YouTube or browsing the web and social media. Is there any solution to this problem or any tips/advice that would help make it less severe??? I don’t wanna play video games all day every day but I’m too addicted!!!
@symmbowL It’s really easy just to slide into doing what’s mindlessly fun when you don’t have any external pressure to produce work or make grades. What helps is to create your own goals and to do lists. A goal has to be measurable, concrete and achievable. So a goal might be to achieve competancy in a new programming language by September - or improve your 1 mile time running. Figure out reasonable goals then set up “to do” lists that will get you there. You don’t need to organize it like school homework or deadlines but put some kind of structure in place to show progress towards the goal with smaller achievements - buy a programming book, find a self-training site, master a chapter a week. Then tell yourself you “have to” check off x number of tasks a day or week. In essence you are setting up your own structure and you play a mind-game with yourself to keep checking off those self-assigned tasks. You set the goals and the pace! 
Get a job. I’m not sure how old you are, but there are places who will hire 15 year olds, including McDonalds.
